You got your insurance company to cover a car that you blew the engine on???

I didn't know they'd do that.

well a very good change of plans on my end .. i got some little punk kid .. who was convienced that my turbo kit was gonna fit on his 98 civic dx ?????? i sold it to him for 2k and i found a rebuilt motor at a salvage yard... for 1500 and the rest is going to pay for install ... my buddy is doing it ..... i really happy......

ohh so everyone knows it was a really weak engine i guess it had a hairline split before i turboed it .. i was only running 6psi .. no intercooler.... well maby 7ish .. but still i was told i was safe untill 9 but whatever ill have the ride back and at least all the work wont be in vien.....

haha forget 5, try 0...putting a turbo on and blowing HOT exhaust air straight into your motor is a defenite no no. Yeah, you might go a while for being alright but your just damaging your motor doing that.

So the point is...DON'T TURBO WITHOUT AN INTERCOOLER! Sorry for the caps...
